Science Communication Workshop

Science communication is all about conveying cutting-edge science to broader audience in an accessible manner. This is a crucial aspect of scientific research, not only for ensuring that the public stay informed and inspired, but also for the government, funding bodies and companies to continue supporting exciting research and bringing new technologies into the world.

In this project, students will have the opportunity to create their own science communication piece, either in the form of an audio podcast or video. Activities will involve conducting interviews and collecting media (e.g. visuals) from other project groups and distilling everything into a narrative that can be appreciated by a more general audience. The project will be led by The Naked Scientists, an award-winning UK-based science-communication organisation, allowing students to get a first-hand experience into how science communication pieces are professionally created.
